Hey Friends and Family!!
What an AMAZING few months it has been! The DTS began in January and we have a radical group of students who are ready and willing to sacrifice it all for the sake of the gospel. I've seen major growth in each of their lives and I'm so excited to see what happens in these last few months of DTS.

What have I been doing?
The previous 2 months we've been in class learning about things like the love and character of God, world missions, worship and prayer, having a Biblical worldview, etc. Each week has been dynamic and God is moving in and among our staff and students in a great way teaching us how to abide in Him, not only now, but for the rest of our lives.
We've been applying what we learn each week by evangelizing on the streets of Harrisburg. One of the ways we've been doing this is by going to Bar Row every Friday night. We would hand out hot chocolate and strike up conversations with anyone we could. We got to pray and share the gospel with dozens of people and a few gave their lives to Christ and got filled with the Holy Spirit!!

Other than this I've been discipling students, preparing for our upcoming outreach, and cooking the meals for our school of 50! It's been a fun way to get to serve the base (and I'm learning how to cook! woohoo!).
Worshipping on Bar Row // Chris Dupre teaching on the Father heart of God
Our entire school just moved to Washington DC to partner with YWAM DC for the last month of our lecture phase. What better way to grow a love for our nation than moving right to the heart of America? We are joining in with the Washington House of Prayer located in Anacostia to worship, pray, and exalt the name of Jesus over our government and our nation. We'll also be evangelizing in local neighborhoods and encouraging the missionaries in this area to keep going!

What am I doing next?
In April and May I will be co-leading a team to a few of the Ivy League schools (Dartmouth, Columbia, and Brown). We are pressing in and interceeding for these schools because we know a great move of God is coming! Simply, we just want to preach Jesus and see an awakening in the hearts of the students to come into a loving relationship with their Creator. What's exciting is that these campuses hold world leaders, so as we evangelize and as we see people give their lives to Christ we are also affecting nations! We will also be joining in with campus fellowships to teach them how to evangelize to their peers and then disciple those who give their lives to Jesus!

Columbia University: In Thy light shall we see the light (Psalm 36:9)
Brown University: In God We Hope
Thank you for all your support and prayers! I feel so blessed to be called to YWAM for this season and I wouldn't be here without you! Have a happy day.
